Network Trunking
ProNAS provides the network trunking/bonding function. Ethernet bonding refers to
aggregating multiple Ethernet channels together to form a single channel.
NOTE: It is necessary that the network switch supports the type of
trunking mode that will be used. Otherwise, the network
connections may be unstable.
